Throwing this up here before it goes to a part out thread. Verified exhaust gas getting into the coolant today. Motor still runs, just be prepared to fill it with coolant every hour or so.
minimal rust for a northeast truck. door sills have rust but are NOT soft or rusted through. some bubbling under the safari windows (seals replaced before I bought the truck) some bubbling on the pass side lower corner of the rear door. body has scratches and dings, as it was wheeled. rear floor is rusted, but I'll throw in a new floorpan and crossbars I ordered from the UK
the good stuff:
brand new bilsteins out back, good shape bilsteins up front
245/75/16 cooper discoverer AT3 load range E tires, very good tread
terrafirma HD steering
new poly panhard rod bushings
wheel bearings brakes and seals all done within the last year on all 4 corners
driver's side swivel seals done like 2 months ago
new rear rubber driveshaft joint thing
D90 front brakes
new bosch alternator
new three quarter window seals and rear window seal, but the three quarter seals are splitting already. typical britpart.
new headliner
magnaflow stainless catback
radiator replaced with nissens all metal one last year
new oil cooler lines
water pump and accessory belt replaced right before I bought the truck (2/14)
rear sunroof sealed, front sunroof works great
only one rear jumpseat
bolt on diff guards front and rear
new copper/nickel brake lines everywhere except engine bay (will include those not installed), new soft lines on all 4 corners
patched driver's front floor pan and repaired seat mount.
truck drives great otherwise, probably could use a steering box. trans shifts perfect, tease perfect.
156k miles
looking for $800 for the whole kit and caboodle. not interested in doing the head gaskets, ready to move onto the next vehicular headache, and I could use a pickup instead. the truck has a lot of good parts and life left, a fresh set of gaskets and it will serve you well. I bought it from a reseller who got it at a dealer auction on a trade in from the original owner. you can tell the truck was taken care of. before this leak came up, I wouldn't have hesitated on taking this thing across the country and posting pictures all over expedition portal with a snow peak titanium spork and table and six yeti coolers showing everyone how cool I was. In traffic this past summer in 90F heat with the AC on full blast it ran 205F. As of now I'm keeping the roof light bar and front floor mats (not OEM) for my buddy's D1, and the thule racks for myself.
